Product Description

We do not recommend using Oculus Rift.

There are user reviews that this conversion adapter can be used with Oculus Rift, but there are several reports that it will not run depending on the type of graphics chip / card on the PC side.

For example, it may not be possible to use with Nvidia's graphics card.

With this Plugable DisplayPort - HDMI active conversion adapter (DP - HDMI), you can connect the DisplayPort output of a laptop or desktop PC to almost any HDMI monitor or TV.

In recent years, computer manufacturers such as Microsoft, Intel and Apple have come to implement DisplayPort and Thunderbolt output in products.

This Plugable Active Conversion Cable allows you to connect existing HDMI monitors to those new products, minimizing compatibility problems such as those caused by quality restrictive passive adapters.

The internal pixel clock of Plugable's DisplayPort - HDMI active conversion adapter is

594 MHz

Since it corresponds to,

If the graphics card or monitor side is compatible

, Maximum 4K 3840 × 2160 @

60 Hz

It can support up to resolution.

(The maximum resolution is 1920 x 1200 for "passive" adapters, which are also called many of the relatively inexpensive "level translators" or "type 1 adapters" currently being sold.)

It has passed the large-scale test requirements necessary for VESA authentication, and it is based on the VESA standard

DisplayPort 1.2

, High bit rate 2 (

HRB 2

) and

HDMI 2.0

It conforms to the standard.

It is also compatible with AMD's Eyefinity technology.

If mini DisplayPort is attached to your system, please use Plugable Mini DisplayPort 1.2 - HDMI 2.0 active conversion adapter (MDP - HDMI).

Equivalent function, mini DisplayPort connector is attached instead of full size DisplayPort connector.

With this active conversion adapter, you can connect the DisplayPort output of a laptop or desktop PC to a monitor with HDMI input, a high definition television, and a projector.

is.

In order to guarantee wide compatibility and quality, we have received VESA (DisplayPort) certification.

It conforms to the VESA standard dual mode DisplayPort 1.2, high bit rate 2 (HBR 2) and HDMI 2.0 standards.

It is compatible with "Plugable USB 3.0 DisplayPort 4K 2160p UHD Ultra High Quality Graphics Adapter (UGA - 4 KDP)".

It is compatible with AMD's Eyefinity technology and can be used together to connect three or more monitors.

(Please read the "Frequently Asked Questions" section below.)

It supports HDCP contents protection function.

It is not HDR compatible.

No special driver installation or external power supply is required.

compatibility

This Plugable DisplayPort 1.2 - HDMI 2.0 active conversion adapter should function virtually regardless of the operating system, whatever combination of DisplayPort implemented system and HDMI monitor.

However, the graphics driver must be operating normally on the system side.

The type of resolution that can be set is determined by the system, its graphics adapter, and the specifications and performance of the connected monitor.

For example, if the graphics adapter of the system supports only resolutions up to 1080p to the external connection monitor, whatever the performance of the connected monitor, this Plugable active conversion adapter

You can not exceed that limit by.

Please note that there are computers that can only be set up to 4K @ 30 Hz due to performance limits of system mounted GPU and memory size.

For example, for systems with Intel HD Graphics 4400 (2 GB), the maximum supported resolution is 3280 x 2000 @ 60 Hz for HDMI and 3200 x 2000 @ 60 Hz for DisplayPort.

In such a system, it is not possible to display a resolution of 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz even with this conversion adapter.

Note 1: On some Mac systems, audio is not correctly transferred to the HDMI monitor via this adapter.

Note 2:

The implementation of DisplayPort of Lenovo W500 is not VESA compliant.

This adapter can not be used.

Note 3:

For graphics cards that use the Intel HD 4400 or Nvidia Kepler generation or earlier GPUs, it is known that the maximum resolution is limited to 4 K @ 30 Hz when HDP conversion is applied to DisplayPort.

Note 4: We do not recommend using Oculus Rift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between active adapter and passive adapter?

A: DisplayPort is a very strange standard.

This standard has the ability to pass other signal types through the DisplayPort connector, known as "dual mode", "DisplayPort ++", or "DP ++".

This passing signal includes the "TDMS signal" necessary for HDMI or DVI standard monitoring.

"Passive adapter" transfers all of these signals using "dual mode" DisplayPort function and voltage boost.

(Voltage boosting is necessary because the DisplayPort's normal voltage is 3.3 V, while HDMI is 5 V.) When the "TDMS signal" is output in dual mode, with many DisplayPort outputs and passive adapters

, The internal clock rate is limited to 165 Mhz.

In order to maintain limited bandwidth due to this clock rate limit, the resolution will be up to 1980 x 1200 and the number of colors that can be handled will also be reduced.

In the case of the DisplayPort - HDMI conversion adapter (which is very confusing to be described as 'active' or 'passive' adapter) sold at a relatively cheap price, even at internal clock rates up to 300 Mhz

Also, in order to transmit the "TDMS signal" required by the HDMI and DVI monitor side, it ultimately depends on the dual mode function.

In contrast, Plugable's DisplayPort - HDMI active conversion adapter is a truly active adapter.

Instead of transferring the "TDMS signal" via the DisplayPort dual mode, we actually convert the DisplayPort "LVDS signal" output to the "TDMS signal" required on the monitor side.

In addition, because it is an internal clock rate up to 594 Mhz, this conversion adapter supports all the features required for compliance with HDMI 1.4 and 2.0 (maximum resolution 4 K, high stereoscopic 3D and high color count)

It is.

Q: In the product information column, "In some Mac systems, sounds are not correctly transferred to the HDMI monitor via this adapter." Why is that?

A: Some Apple products sometimes use special methods for voice transfer via DisplayPort and Thunderbolt.

Such systems can not transfer voice.

If you implement this proprietary transfer method on this adapter, this product will not be able to receive VESA (DisplayPort) certification.

Q: Can I connect two or more monitors with Plugable Display Port / Mini Display Port - HDMI active conversion adapter and AMD Eyefinity?

A: It corresponds to technical specifications.

AMD Eyefinity technology allows you to connect up to two "existing" monitors (via HDMI, DVI or VGA).

However, the third connection must be via the original DisplayPort without using a conversion adapter or the like.

This is because HDMI signals that are simply transferred by DisplayPort dual mode using conversion adapters etc. are counted among "two existing (via HDMI, DVI or VGA)".

However, when using Plugable's active conversion adapter, the AMD Eyefinity graphics card is connected as a DisplayPort monitor, so it can not be counted as "existing two".

(Note: AMD's graphics card supports up to two active conversion adapters, according to AMD.)

However, depending on your Eyefinity graphics card, additional settings on the Eyefinity configuration may be necessary when displaying the third monitor, or display may not be possible due to compatibility issues.

Q: Can Plugable DisplayPort - HDMI v2.0 Active Conversion Adapter be used with a refresh rate of 60 Hz on a 4K monitor compatible with HDMI 2.0?

A. Yes.

This adapter complies with DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4 / 2.0, and it supports refresh rate up to 60 Hz at 4K resolution.

DisplayPort on the system side conforms to the DisplayPort 1.2 standard, and when the system GPU or monitor supports 4K @ 60 Hz, it can be displayed at 4K @ 60 Hz.

Q. Is this DP-HDMI conversion adapter compatible with the 4: 4: 4 digital video signal format?

A. Yes, 4K @ 60 Hz resolution is supported.

However, note that due to the limitation of the 18 Gbps bandwidth of the HDMI 2.0 standard, the color depth in the 4K @ 60 Hz 4: 4: 4 format will be up to 8 bits.

Q. Is this DP-HDMI conversion adapter compatible with HDR (High Dynamic Range)?

A. No, this adapter is not HDR compliant.
